Nice work there!,are there any tutorials to go to mars or Europa?
Not as such, because there's quite a few ways of doing it. Mars is actually a pretty simple destination to get an orbit, landing and return as it's close and has an atmosphere that isn't too thick. It's a pretty much the easiest return landing destination in the game.

Europa is slightly harder as it's a long way away and has no atmosphere but the gravity is quite low so the orbital velocity isn't as ridiculous as say Ganymede.
You'll need to plan the rocket and trip a lot more and that's where your variables come into it.
Direct is easier to plan, but needs much more fuel. It's do-able, especially with ions and is a simple case of selecting it as a target and burning for an encounter whilst in Earths SOI. As a word of advice, ion burns to Jove can take about an hour.
Indirect involves the art of gravity assists. You need less fuel (can be done quite realistically with chemical engines) and the burn times are shorter, but the flight planning is a lot higher. There are a lot of different assist routes but the best is Altairs VEEGA route which basically gets you to jupiter for the same price as going to Venus.

If you have a look around the forum (or search keywords like europa/mars) then you'll see an absolute fuckton of missions and videos of trips to these places
